2021: Travel Year in Review
Posted on 12/25/21 at 10:41 pm
Posted on 12/25/21 at 10:41 pm
This is one of my favorite threads of the year over on another travel site and I wanted to bring this over to the TD Travel board.
While my travel rebounded greatly from an all time low in 2020, I'm still only flying for leisure instead of for work. For the first time since I started working and tracking flights, I didn't leave the country (unless you count the U.S. Virgin Islands). Looking forward to a return to normal in the new year as well as a few big trips I'm working on for 2022.
Post up your stats for 2021 as we gear up for the new year!
New Countries (0): None
New Airports (8): EWR, STT, LAN, GRR, LAX, SLC, PNS, RNO
New Airlines (0): None
New Planes (2): A220-100, B737-900
Shortest Flight: DTW-LAN, 74 Miles (I think we just drove down the highway)
Longest Flight: STT-IAH, 2,070 Miles
Total Airports: 17
Total Flights: 35
Total Miles: 26,276 Miles

Just having some fun with you.

Awesome, love the thread! This is going to take some time to populate everything, in the meantime I'm going to post the link to the great circle mapper here. For those unfamiliar, just type in the routes that you've taken and they'll show up on the map.

GCMap link isn't working properly. You may just need to snip/screenshot it and link the image.
EDIT: I used snipping tool, saved it to my desktop, and uploaded it to FlyerTalk and then copied the image link

Yeah, you were the king of long haul this year
Posted on 12/25/21 at 11:15 pm to H2O Tiger
Domestic longhaul*. I'm waiting for one of our resident diamond medallions to come in here with >100k miles. In my case, it's a pain in the butt having family at all corners of the country plus add in leisure travel like ski vacations and LSU games/fishing in LA and suddenly a 3 hour flight feels short.

Someone posted this on the DL FT Year-end roundup
Posted on 12/25/21 at 11:22 pm to H2O Tiger
154 segments 
Posted on 12/25/21 at 11:26 pm to H2O Tiger
Well damn
Posted on 12/25/21 at 11:44 pm to CuseTiger
My busiest year I only did 100 segments and that was exhausting
Posted on 12/26/21 at 1:33 am to CuseTiger
I also took 4 road trips this year.
